Mice homozygous for the recessive proportional dwarf (<i>pdw</i>) mutation can be identified by 25 days of age, having shortened limbs, tail, head, and body.  Abnormalities were not detected in growth plates and skeletal mineralization patterns.  Some pre-wean mortality has been reported.  Both female and male homozygotes are fertile.  (Sweet et al., 1992.)

These mice carry the spontaneous <i>pdw</i> (proportional dwarf)  mutation and are characterized by shortened limbs, tail, head, and body.

Typically mice are recovered in 12-16 weeks. Contact Customer Service to place an order or for more information.
